Everything's coming up roses

My first job to do today was to take photos at another Planting Up Whickham event, this time on Coniston Avenue, on the Lakes Estate. There is a rose bed on the entrance to the Estate and the group has decided to take on the planting and maintenance of it. This morning a group of residents did the work.





Cllr Peter Maughan was raised on the Estate and he planted a rose in memory of his father who died recently.

The group are taking on the on-going maintenance of the rosebed and as it is at the entrance to the Estate, it will be noticed by many people.
